These are super comfortable and soft, but also not flimsy or thin so I can Actually wear these outside without feeling weird or naked. I have Fibromyalgia and it actually hurts to wear clothes but these don’t bother me. Finally shorts that give enough without being see through.I should Note though that although the stitching is for a wide band waist, the elastic inside is only an inch wide tops. I was Really hoping for a wide band inside , not just the stitching for it , doesn’t really make sense . But it does seem to still provide some more flattering support in the stomach then other thin bands without the wide waist stitching , and doesn’t really dig in. Normally I would definitely take a star off for that but seeing as how I’m 1) still comfortable and 2) wearing them right now and constantly washing them to wear them more than anything else , I cant Really complain too much. I went Up a size , mostly because I’ve gained weight but also to make sure they wouldn’t dig in. In case it doesn’t show it in the review I’m 5’5” and 165 and am every happy with the large, it still hugs without being tight.Overall I’d buy these again if they’re on sale, I’ll prob get another pair for my rotation. I got Them on cyber sale, not sure what full price is atm. Fabric is so soft and light while still being substantial. I give them a 4.5. I am Still going to be keeping my eye out for a pair that actually has a wider elastic band in the lining though.These pants are great and they fit really nice and snug. The material is thick so it feels good, not that light material that feels like sleep shorts. Pockets are great!, theyre deep and long plus they fit my entire phone+ case with pop socket. The length of them go just a little below my knees but I roll them up. They rate a 4 because the stitching has started to come off already after one wash. I don't use these for a intense workout so the wash mustve been it. They weren't expensive so not too bad. Disappointed since I really like these though.I usually buy 1 item at a time to see if I like it. This time I bought the 3 pair of different colors because not only do they look and feel good but are a reasonable price. I wear them frequently shopping, to the gym and on walks.I got the 12" shorts in L. I bought this to wear as lounging shorts and I really like them! I'm 5'2 and wear M to L depending on the clothing brand. The length comes right above my knee and it's not too tight or too loose for my fit. If I wanted to wear this for a workout, I would definitely need to get a medium size. Also, the side pockets are a plus when my hands are full. They are very smooth and comfy enough to wear around the house. They haven't pilled in my first wash yet, and I hope they don't. I'll update if they do start pilling.The fabric stretches nicely but is also firm enough to hide my post-partum gut that never shrunk. What I don't like is all the seams that don't fall straight. I don't go to the gym and mostly wear them around the house so I don't really care - for the price, not worth the hassle of sending them back. If wandering seams bother you, probably not the best choice. If you're just looking for comfort and support, great shorts. I'm 5' 7" 145 and usually wear large. I ordered XL and am glad I did.I loved the grey and I believe it was red but I didn't know unfortunately for me that the black ones that I really wanted were the ones that were too small for me. But I'm so happy with themGood quality, great color, not see thru & useful for gym, pool or ocean. Has good fit in waist but could use a bit more compression in hip & thigh. My dress size is 10-12. Waist 34-36; hip 43. I ordered large. Will order medium to to see if I get desired compression. Waist band has minimal roll but generally stays in place. Waist cord would have been helpful for me. I ordered the black snake print and the green snake print. (I like my gym clothes to be fun fashion). The shorts fit as well as my shorts from Lululemon which cost twice as much! The waist band rolls on my shorts from Fabletics that also cost considerably more than these. I highly recommend this product for fit, quality and price.Great product. I would highly recommend ? The material is soft, stretchy, and very comfortable. I use them for every day living as well as workout.
